What happens when you don’t read things carefully at the grocery store? You don’t make the dish you planned on making! I thought I was grabbing puff pastry the other day, but I ended grabbing Phyllo dough instead. Very different! I didn’t even realize it until I was thawing it and putting it on the baking sheet. I decided I’d go through with what I wanted to try anyway and see how it turned out.
It actually worked pretty well. I probably wouldn’t make it with phyllo again, and think it will be amazing with puff pastry. But my husband Eric absolutely loved it. I think he ate almost the whole thing! It makes a yummy light snack.
For the pesto sauce, you can make your own. I just use a mix and use the leftover sauce for pasta, sandwiches or pizza.
